Just upgraded from 3.3.0 to 3.4.0 and things went smooth for a little while then I started changing scss files and livesync was transferring according to the logs but then when the app tries to refresh this error is thrown.

Below is the terminal logging for development with tns run android

[bradmartin]

Restarting with tns run android allows to keep developing, just FYI. Changing .xml files doesn't seem to cause the issue so possibly it's only related to the scss/css.

[bradmartin]

Seems to happen majority of the time when modifying a scss file

[NickIliev]

@bradmartin I've tried to reproduce the issue using the template drawer navigation application (demo here). However, on my side changes in the scss files are applied as expected.

I have used the following workflow:

tns create my-app-name --template tns-template-drawer-navigation-ng
tns run android
// make change in some of the Android SCSS files and save
// result: changes are applied via livesync

Please do let me know if you have more info on how to reproduce the issue (or sample project)

[carlosdelfino]

I'm also having this exception, and it occurs randomly after the second code update, no matter the type of file edition, I use more in the case of encoding with TypeScript.

[bezzil85]

same here, second or third update cause that exception, helps only restaring manually tns from console

i guess its not a real fix, but adding check in frame-common.js in reloadPage function

if (frame && frame._currentEntry) {
gives an oportunity to work without restarting

[dlcole]

I'm having the same issue. Had my app working fine, added sass, then receive this error every time I modify an scss file while livesync is running. TNS RUN will re-start the emulator and work OK, but sure makes it hard to fine-tune the layout.

[BMwanza]

@bezzil85 Wheere is the frame-common.js file found?

[NickIliev]

The last two major releases (4.. and then 5..0.0) both introduced a number of changes and optimizations to the livesync process (including an HMR option)/ The issue seems to be no longer reproducible with the originally posted error

TypeError: Cannot read property 'entry' of undefined

Closing the issue but please if anyone experiences any livesync related issue feel free to provide detailed information in new issue posted in the nativescript-cli repository.
